Château Léoville Las Cases
Château Léoville Las Cases is a second Grand Cru Classé, considered by some to be the equal of the Médoc's Premiers Grands Crus. The Domaine de Léoville, one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc, belonged to some of France's wealthiest and most influential noble families, culminating in the Las Cases family. Pierre-Jean, Adolphe and Gabriel de Las Cases succeeded one another until 1900, when Théophile Skawinski acquired a stake in the estate and took over its management. Since the end of the 19th century, Léoville Las Cases has been managed by the same family, currently represented by Jean-Hubert Delon, sole owner, who also owns Château Potensac in the Médoc and Château Nénin in Pomerol.

The Clos de Château Léoville Las Cases boasts an extremely complex terroir. Mainly composed of Quaternary gravel on a gravelly-sandy and gravelly-clay subsoil, it also contains clay of varying depths and compactness, sometimes even outcropping. The proximity of the Gironde is responsible for this great diversity of soils, created over geological periods by successive superimpositions. What's more, the river generates a very specific microclimate that enables the grapes to ripen very early and protects the vineyards from frost. This camaieu of geological combinations influences the development of the vines and the constitution of the grapes: regular but limited water supply and very low nutritional inputs favor the expression of the great Cabernet Sauvignons and Francs, which often reach their quintessence whatever the vintage.

This incomparable terroir gives the great wine its unique personality. But beyond excellence, it's above all the great consistency of Château Léoville Las Cases that makes its reputation among lovers of great Bordeaux wines.

"The intensity and depth of a great St-Julien!"

"A brilliant effort, Léoville Las Cases 2014 is a well-crafted classic that will delight purists. Blending dark berry and cassis aromas with notes of bitter chocolate, sweet spices, cigar paper, pencil shavings and sweet new oak, it is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with acidic notes and a deep, firm mid-palate framed by rich, powdery tannins. Concludes with a long, penetrating finish" (Wine Advocate - 2022) - Wooden case delivery available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"If the first bouquet reveals a clear dominance of wood, the elegance and complexity characteristic of the vintage soon emerge around beautiful aromas of ripe red fruit enhanced by a hint of violet. After a round attack, the palate takes a more intense and powerful turn, carried by very fine-grained tannins and a well-dosed freshness that pushes the finish far, far away. A Saint-Julien of incomparable refinement ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021). Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding delivery to relay points).

"The 2010 proves sumptuous, with full body and magnificent energy, abundant but melted tannins." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 - RVF) - "With an alcohol level of 13.6% in a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, this wine presents sweet notes of kirsch, licorice and blackcurrant in a seductively chic style, with a full body, supple, abundant tannins and a long finish. Drink over the next 10-15 years. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) - Delivery in original wooden crate for orders of 6 bottles delivered in France.
